About this product

Product Information

Eschewing the usual criteria of chart success or acknowledged influence, the Copendium - a collection of album reviews and themed track samplers - takes energy, originality and heaviness as its bearings. The result is a feast of obscure and neglected masterworks that together form a surprising but entirely credible new tradition. Krautrock, motorik and post-punk, stoner and doom metal, occasionally even jazz, spoken word and hair metal: they are all represented in a wholly persuasive sequence. Cope is the perfect guide to this novel terrain: impeccably informed, passionate, insightful and deeply funny. The Copendium is his re-imagining of a useful canon of popular music, and it is set to become required reading.

  • Cope is Genius

    He uses new words to describe music. He invents new syntax and ignores all rules of language but achieves what he sets out to do: inform you of the most important heroes of rock'n'roll with clarity and clearness. It's a mystery how his method works, but it does. And while you are learning all about this alternate line-up of lost souls of the groove, you are learning new ways of expressing yourself. Double the entertainment of any other book. Get it now.
